Data Research firms that monitor the number of searches made using a search engine have started releasing their figures. The first one to do so is Stats Counter a Dublin based firm that tracks the data of searches by taking a sample of 4 billion page loads in a month and that is really a huge statistical sample.
The results are for the month of June for all the three search engines Bing, Yahoo and Google.
What news does it bring in for the harbinger of decision engine. People must be really dumb not letting bing take decisions for them. The number of searches using bing in the month of June from the time of its release rose from 7.8 to 8.2 %. If you take into consideration the figures for April, Microsoft’s share was 7.2%. With all the hue and cry and the publicity spend bing increased the search share of Microsoft by a mere 1%.
The surprise was Yahoo which not only stood its ground but actually managed to better its performance albeit only slightly.
That brings us to Google whose percentage dropped by a mere 0. 2% from 78.7 to 78.5.
We think the stats are self explanatory and may be Microsoft should ask bing to take a decision of their capabilities.
